The protecting sections 2fl, 25, 26 may be made-of an suitable material, but by preference of g ass, orcelain or other insulating material, an rigidly secured together in any 'convement manner, and provided ends of said insulating e1ement.12 with projections or otherineans for maintaining the tub, lar protector 23 as'a whole position upon, and surrounding said insulating mem' b'er, antifree therefrom.

In' the'moditication illustratedat Fi 2, the insulator as a whole is const-ructe essentially as horeinabove described, an a, as shown at Fig. 1, except that in this ins nce the lowermost protection section 25 is not supported upon the socket 18 but is free therefrom, and is provided upon the inner side of its socket portion 33 with'an into contact with the insulating element 12" adjacent to its-lower end and below said head with a flaring portion 29".
